One person died and three others injured in the one-vehicle accident

One person died and three others were injured in an accident on I-295 that momentarily shut down traffic.

A Ford Expedition towing a trailer struck a light pole and flipped near Old St. Augustine Road around 7:10 p.m., said Sgt. Dylan Bryan of the Florida Highway Patrol. The vehicle was carrying four passengers.

The driver died on the scene. One man was life flighted to UF Health Jacksonville, and another man was taken there by an ambulance. They are both in critical condition. The fourth passenger was taken to Orange Park Medical Center with minor injuries.

Police have not identified the passengers and are still investigating the cause of the accident, Bryan said.

Police shut down traffic on the interstate to allow the helicopter to land. All southbound lanes are now open, and one northbound lane remains closed.
